  1. I am new to prescribing as an NP and I can't tell you how helpful all of the local pharmacists have been when I have had to call in scripts. I work in an ED and we have to call in antibiotic prescriptions for positive culture results if someone didn'...

    When to delegate to CNAs?

    I seriously hope that this is a joke. When I was an ER nurse I had no problem delegating tasks to CNAs and I certainly wasn't a pushover but I also learned that asking for help and showing a little humility from the get-go made a lot fewer conflicts...

    Multiple CNA's refusing assigned task

    I don't work in LTC but I have a deep respect for those who possess the skills and disposition suited for that setting because I do not. My experience in LTC is limited to what I saw in nursing school and briefly as a CNA before I worked in a hospita...

    Multiple CNA's refusing assigned task

    I think that CNAs/techs have a role in the delivery of healthcare as do nurses (RNs/LPNs), advanced practice providers (MD/DO/NP/PA) and all of the other disciplines (pharmacy, social work, case management, psychology, physical therapy, occupational ...

    Fairness

    Back when I was a nurse manager my unit had self-scheduling and while I loved the idea of staff being able to have real influence over own schedules I found that for every schedule period I would often have to "fix" the schedule so that the unit woul...

    Many nurses do not chart?

    I haven't been a Med/Surg nurse in a while because I'm in the ED now and the charting requirements are completely different but my previous nurse manager regarded me as a pretty thorough in the documentation department and I didn't have to stay late ...

    Accusing Hospice

    This is a great story, your message and choice of language created a really solid picture, at least in my mind. I agree with the user who suggested that it must be the family who brings up religion in these situations and I can appreciate that you we...

    Nurse-client Relationship Boundaries

    I'm a clinical nursing instructor and I would tell my student that this is a matter of professional boundaries. I agree that it was a mistake and a momentary lapse in judgement but I understand how a student could have done it with the very beat of i...
  11. I understand the the idea of supply/demand and the concept that quality programs will produce quality graduates and only quality graduates will get jobs. However, I can't seem to get past my personal experience of seeing recently hired NPs in my facu...
  12. As usual I think that BostonFNP is right on target, programs that don't or can't secure sits for their students are sending a message that tuition dollars are valued above the quality of their students education. I am a FNP student who comes in with ...
  13. Ivan, I appreciate your feedback and did not create this post solely for the purposes of offending anyone or diminishing any education track. I understand the word "broken" may have come across a little strong, it was primarily for the purpose of dra...
  14. I really like the idea of post-graduate residency programs that combine NPs and PAs, I think it brings together the strengths of both disciplines and will advance the combined education. I am lucky to work side by side with quite a few PAs, many of t...
